Intertran2.
OBSERVE! The Intertran2 calculation part does only
work in a 32-bit environment!
A new version 2.8.002 contains fixes on usage of user
defined pasquill data sets.This new version should be saved into the
Intertran2-8 directory.
The new version 2.8.001 contains several fixes and new
features. This new version will be installed in a new directory. It is
possible to use old database files.
The INTERTRAN2 package is a computer code system for the assessment of
radiological consequences and risks from the transport of radioactive
material. It allows to study incident-free and accident conditions of
transport separately. It is applicable to all modes of transport, in
particular to multimodal shipments, and it can deal with nuclear material
and industrial material as well as radiopharmapheuticals.
Under normal conditions of transport (incident-free case) the expected
dose to workers and to different members of the public along the transport
route can be calculated as collective dose, taking into account also
handling operations. this incident-free case exposure of persons results
from the external radiation originating from the radioactive material
within the package during shipment. In addition to the collective dose of
different subgroups the code also computes a hypothetical maximum dose to
an individual member of the public who lives close to a highway or a
railroad track. Under accident conditions the INTERTRAN2 package can be
used to estimate the resulting external and internal individual and
population doses.
The INTERTRAN2 package provides a tool, for
- specific shipment studies
- national assessments
- comparison of shipment options
- supporting decision making processes and optimization
of transport concepts and technologies from the viewpoint of
radioactive protection safety.
The computer code system allows the user to adjust the analysis to the
specific problem being analyzed, but the resolution of an analysis may be
limited by the quality of available data. Taking this into account the
scope of the INTERTRAN2 package and the accuracy of the results are mainly
limited by the availability and quality of the data which are necessary to
represent the specific transport situation to be analyzed.
The INTERTRAN2 package is developed within an IAEA (International
Atomic Energy Agency) coordinated research program. The main calculation
part is based on the RADTRAN4 main frame computer code submitted by Sandia
National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM. The atmospheric dispersion model
(TRANSAT) is submitted by IPSN, France. The Intertran2 program has been
developed by AMC Konsult AB under
contract from the Swedish Nuclear Power
Inspectorate.
